KENT — An exhibit called Then and Now and featuring work by South Kent resident Thomas Franken is on display at the Kent Memorial Library until June 30. The exhibit showcases Franken’s artwork, spanning more than 50 years.

“When I was younger, I never realized that art could be a career,” Franken said.

He worked in the corporate world on and off over the years, but art was always a constant.
